"Mr.Nigaki, is your injury better?"
Just as Aragaki Nigaki spoke, he suddenly heard a gentle call from behind, "Niu Xiaohua."
"If you have time, write to me about what you know. Since I can't go back, I can't just drift through life like this," Aragaki Nigaki said softly.
"I will write down everything I know for you. But you also need to tell me about the future." Court smiled stiffly at Niu Xiaohua.
"Mr.Nigaki? Are you okay?" There was a teardrop in Niu Xiaohua's clear eyes.
"I'm fine! Thank you! Xiaohua! If it weren't for you, I would have sent it by now!"
"Sent? What does that mean?"
"Oh... he said that if it weren't for you using your spiritual power to help him dispel the poison of the ice abyss, he would have been dead," Court intervened, "But there's something I must make clear to both of you. Elder, your spiritual power has been overdrawn to a severe extent, causing significant damage to your cultivation. Some acupoints in the extraordinary meridians are severely blocked, and spiritual power simply cannot flow. In short, your spiritual shock has become difficult to surpass the eighth stage."
"It's okay, as long as Mr. Nigaki is safe, I am willing to have no spiritual power," Niu Xiaohua looked up at her husband, happiness overflowing in her expression.
"What concept is this?" Aragaki Nigaki asked, "Is it very low?"
Court shook his head, "Let me put it this way, the highest spiritual level of the human race in cultivation is the tenth level. And her spiritual shock should only be at the sixth level now. The highest level of the four animals, lion, tiger, wolf, and leopard, is also at the sixth level."
"Damn... this... the majestic Dragon race can't even beat ordinary wild beasts?"
As the two spoke, Niu Xiaohua paid no attention and quietly listened to their conversation.
"What about me? What's my situation?"
"I heard from the junior brothers that your highest spiritual shock before the injury was at the seventeenth level, but now from my observation, it's only at the fourth level... However, fortunately, apart from the poison of the ice abyss, your external injuries have also healed."
"Just stay alive! Who needs a bicycle!"
"Huh? Mr.Nigaki, what's a bicycle?"
"Oh! That... that's a kind of mount! It runs pretty fast... pedaled with your feet... clack clack clack..."
"Hahaha~ Mr.Nigaki, you are still so witty and humorous," Niu Xiaohua laughed sincerely.
"Now that you are both safe, I should leave. I hope you two take care of yourselves in the future. Aragaki, I promise to send you the things I promised using a spirit talisman. Don't worry!"
"Court, thank you for helping us so much. I can't repay you, so I'll give you this sword." Niu Xiaohua handed over the pitch-black Devil sword, "This sword is called Chaos. From now on, you are its new owner."
"Is this... isn't this your token of love? I really can't accept it. I appreciate the gesture though."
"We are a devoted couple, and a token of love is just an extra touch. But for you... I really don't know how to thank you. I hope you can accept it."
"Please take it. Little Hua said so. Consider it a gift between fellow villagers."
"fellow villagers? You guys..."
Court suddenly smiled, with bright eyes shining, "He's just kidding. Then... I won't refuse anymore."
Court took the Chaos Love and looked at it repeatedly before saying goodbye and leaving.
See Court leave with the sword, Aragaki Nigaki hugged Niu Xiaohua, "My injuries are all healed. This time you have no reason to refuse me!"
Niu Xiaohua naturally understood her husband's meaning, blushing with embarrassment, burying her head in Aragaki Nigaki's chest, and fiddling with the buttons on her clothes with her fingertips.
Aragaki Nigaki smelled the fragrance of pear blossoms on Niu Xiaohua's body, feeling extremely excited, and hugged her even tighter.
"Mr.Nigaki, do you think it's good for us to live like this, with the man farming and the woman weaving, without caring about the world?"
"If you and your husband are farming and weaving, then where does that leave me? This is my home." Suddenly, a hunter appeared at the door, holding a small wild boar in his left hand, a mountain chicken in his right hand, and a bow and arrow on his back, speaking in a teasing tone.
Niu Xiaohua looked embarrassed and mischievously stuck out her tongue, "Oops, the owner of the house is back."
"Has Dao Zhang left? He gave me some money to take care of you. But it looks like you can all enter the bridal chamber now... so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"How could there be..." Niu Xiaohua buried her head even deeper upon hearing this.
"The Hunter, I'm really sorry. We'll leave now..."
The hunter waved his hand, "I was just joking with you, why are you taking it seriously? Feel at ease staying here! The Taoist priest gave me a lot of money, and I am an honest person, I won't frame you. Feel at ease staying! As long as you think highly of my little broken house! Hahaha~"
Aragaki Nigaki and Niu Xiaohua lived in the mountains for twelve days. During this period, the two were inseparable, harmonious and in tune. The envious hunter always clamored to find a wife like Niu Xiaohua.
However, despite this, as they were living under someone else's roof, and Aragaki Nigaki had only just recovered from his injuries, Niu Xiaohua still did not agree to share a room.
Niu Xiaohua loves music. Every time Aragaki Nigaki goes hunting in the mountains, she plays the zither at the foot of the mountain. The sound of the zither travels through the woods and streams, crossing deep gorges and valleys. Every note and melody is soothing to the ears. The wild animals stop in their tracks, and the birds stop flying when they hear it.
After playing four pieces, she goes about her daily chores like an ordinary farmer's wife, washing and cooking, waiting for her husband to return. Just the other day, she learned some sewing from the old lady in the village below the mountain and turned her husband's Daoist robe into a neat long shirt.
At dusk, the three of them sat around the stove in front of the house, listening to the husband and the Hunter talk about interesting things in the mountains, enjoying the fruits of the day. This is the life that Niu Xiaohua has been dreaming of.
Such a life is really rare for her. Although Aragaki Nigaki mentioned several times that he wanted to go out for a walk, Niu Xiaohua would use a coquettish tone to dispel his thoughts, saying something like "Mr. Nigaki, stay with me for a few more days."
At the thirteenth day, before dawn, the sky was still not bright, and a hint of light slowly extended in the east.
The crisp autumn morning breeze gently brushes the face, with the sound of insects and falling leaves in the mountains. Everything is so peaceful, and sporadic sounds hint at the gift of nature to mankind. Niu Xiaohua gets up early to cook, as she is accustomed to this time. A loud noise "bang" wakes Aragaki Nigaki from their dream.
He scrambled up in a panic, calling out his wife's name several times with no response. He didn't even have time to put on clothes before he rolled out of bed and rushed out the door.
Niu Xiaohua stood blankly in front of the stove, with a broken wooden basin at her feet. Aragaki Nigaki's heart sank when he saw his wife, and he casually walked up to Niu Xiaohua.
"Xiaohua? What's wrong with you? Did this basin just break? You scared me. Why didn't you respond when I called you?"
Niu Xiaohua seemed to not hear, her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes staring straight ahead.
"Xiaohua? What's wrong with you?" Aragaki Nigaki looked at his wife's sad face and thought to himself: Does she know that I'm not her husband?
Following Niu Xiaohua's gaze, Aragaki Nigaki took a look, and in an instant, the hairs on his body stood on end.
Only five or six meters away from the stove, there lay a corpse. This person was none other than the owner of the thatched cottage - the Hunter. Aragaki Nigaki approached and upon inspection, found that the body had already gone cold, and it was unknown how long the person had been dead. He grabbed the shoulders of the body and pulled with force, flipping the body over. However, the lower half did not move at all. It was then shockingly discovered that the Hunter had been cut in half at the waist. Although the upper and lower halves were separated, the flesh and blood were still tightly stuck together.
This slight movement caused blood to gush out, covering a large area of the ground in just a few seconds. Niu Xiaohua also walked up, looking sorrowful, her red lips trembling slightly. "Someone actually killed the Hunter without a sound in front of us. Who could it be?"
"Oh? Are you guys up? Aragaki bro! And... young lady!"
